We compared a family Aldi shop from last year with prices today - here's what we found

As the cost of living in the UK continues to rise one reporter decided to compare an Aldi shop with the price from last June after he found a receipt. Phil Norris explained that after finding an Aldi receipt from a weekly family shop last June, it was hard to tell at first what had gone up in the past 11 months.

Some things had actually gone down in price when he looked at them. He said: "A quick scan down the list showed that milk seemed a bit cheaper than now, as did butter, cheese and salmon slices.

"But it was only after going online and comparing prices now with the prices in store last year, that the increases started to mount up. A few items were actually cheaper, but the vast majority had gone up."

The table below shows the items bought at Aldi on June 6, 2021 at the branch in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, compared with the website price listed at Aldi.co.uk on May 5, 2022 he reports on Wales Online. The order, including duplicates, is based on the original receipt from last year.

The overall difference in price between June 2021 and May 2022 is £7.54, or more than 11 per cent. While £7.54 may not seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things, add that extra up over a month, a year, and it soon becomes a more substantial sum.
